Hi Ralph,
I am a Legacy member of the 12th AD Association. Are you sure your dad was in the 495th ? What else is on his discharge papers? Do you have his separation [DD214] papers? Reason I ask, on our 17,000 Members list [left side of this website] when I searched I found one McCollum, different first name and was assigned to the 494th AFA. Please copy all the info you have an email it to me. I’ll try to help. Also contact the 495th AFA Unit Rep. (WW2 Vet) Ken Poucher 765-288-0057 he lives in IN .
Regards,
Ken

Dear Ralph, I had a hunch that an error was made in the 17,000 Members Roster. I found your father's name misspelled as
Ralph McCallum, Sr., 902 Star Street,
Akron, Ohio. Member of the 495th.
I advise you to follow Ken's suggestion and
contact Ken Poucher. You might also try his
email:
kenpoucher@comcast.net
Ken can put a notice in the Hellcat News.
If you want a copy of the Roster of the 495th, please contact me with your address:
geomike@buffalo.edu
